• Help delivery teams adopt the design system through clear documentation, guidance and hands‑on support.
• Build and maintain automated build and test pipelines in Azure DevOps, including automated and DAST security testing.
• Work in blended, multi-supplier agile teams, contributing to service assessments, code reviews and coaching.

What We’re Looking For

• BPSS clearance (or the ability to obtain it).
• Proven experience building design systems and component libraries.
• Accessibility expertise, including auditing and remediating to WCAG 2.2 AA.
• Working knowledge of Figma, particularly Dev Mode.
• Experience calling APIs and working with RESTful microservices.
• Hands‑on experience with Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, automated testing (for example Jest, Cypress or Playwright) and DAST tools.
• Experience delivering services to the Service Standard in complex government environments.
• A clear communicator, able to explain technical progress to any audience.
• Experience with the GOV.UK Design System or a departmental design system.
• Familiarity with legacy .NET and migrating away from legacy systems.
